Bah Humbug! An Eastside Christmas Carol returns to SFU Woodward’s

December 7 - December 16, 2017

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol comes to life in modern-day east Vancouver under the direction of Jessie Award-winning actor, playwright, and director James Fagan Tait.

With a script that is fine-tuned annually in response to the current issues affecting Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (DTES), Bah Humbug! offers an all-ages production that celebrates the transformative power of human redemption.

Bah Humbug! features celebrated musician and storyteller Jim Byrnes* as Ebenezer Scrooge, Renae Morriseau* as the Narrator, Kevin McNulty* as Marley, and gospel and blues singer/actor as Tom Pickett* as Bob Cratchit. These Vancouver favourites are joined by a cast of professional and DTES community actors, including Stephen Lytton, winner of the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award.
